About the job:
The Digital Data, AI & Analytics team at Opella drives transformation through data-driven decision-making, advanced analytics, and AI-powered solutions. Within this team, the Master Data, Data Governance & Market Data group ensures robust data practices, governance, and actionable insights to support strategic business decisions across the organization.
POSITION OVERVIEW:
- The Product Owner – Horizon is responsible for the end-to-end execution and delivery of Horizon as a senior leadership web application.

- Horizon is not a reporting tool. It is a decision cockpit, which focuses on clarity, narrative, and speed.
- This role requires strong product thinking, executive empathy, and the ability to translate complex, multi-dimensional business inputs into simple, high-impact user experiences.
The Product Owner will ensure Horizon delivers:

- This role sits at the intersection of business, data, and technology, owning product strategy and execution to enable intuitive, scalable, and insight-driven experiences for global and local stakeholders. The Product Owner will work closely with Opella Senior Leadership, data teams, BI teams, and business users to create high-impact product capabilities.

- Define user flows, screen-level requirements, and interaction logic in detail
- Work closely with designers to ensure requirements translate into clean, intuitive UX
- Avoid over-engineering—focus on MVP-first, iterative delivery
- undefined
Stakeholder Coordination (Execution-Focused)
- Act as the single point of contact between business stakeholders and delivery teams
- Gather inputs, clarify requirements, and manage expectations on scope and timelines
- Ensure fast turnaround on feedback and incorporate it into subsequent sprints

Release & Adoption Management
- Plan and manage releases, including UAT, sign-offs, and production deployment

- Continuously collect user feedback and feed it into backlog prioritization
- undefined
- Define and Drive the Horizon Vision
- Own Horizon as a leadership-facing product, ensuring it meets the needs of senior executives (Global & Regional)

- Establish guiding principles: simplicity, relevance, speed, and actionability

Design a Best-in-Class Executive Experience
- Translate complex business inputs into clean, intuitive, and minimalistic UI/UX
- Define how insights are structured: performance summaries, exception-based views, trend signals, and forward-looking indicators
- Ensure the product answers key leadership questions instantly (e.g., “What’s changing?”, “Where do I need to act?”, “What’s the risk?”)
- Drive consistency in how metrics, visuals, and narratives are presented across the platform
- undefined
Stakeholder Engagement (Senior Leadership Focus)
- Engage directly with senior stakeholders to gather feedback and refine the product experience
